  1. Current and FutureMemorandum of Understandingon Repair Design Approval(TCCA/FAA RDA-MOU)Transport Canada Civil Aviationand Federal Aviation Administration

  2. Current and Future : TCCA/FAA Repair Design Approval Background • Bilateral Agreement provides for the reciprocal acceptance of each other’s airworthiness approvals • Type Certification adequately covered • In 1994, TCCA and FAA acknowledged the growing commercial ventures between Canadian and US industry • TCCA/FAA needed to be clear on acceptability of repair designs

  3. Current and Future : TCCA/FAA Repair Design Approval Mutual Desire • TCCA and FAA recognized repair design approval as an area where duplication can be minimized • A joint TCCA/FAA team investigated the issue and concluded that acceptance of each other’s repair design approval is achievable • TCCA/FAA agreed on a phased implementation(progressive expansion) • TCCA/FAA signed RDA-MOU in 1998, establishing reciprocal acceptance of each other’s repair design approval

  4. Current and Future : TCCA/FAA Repair Design Approval Current RDA-MOU Accepts: • Repair designs approved directly by TCCA or FAA on products where Canada or US is the State of Design (not 3rd country products) • Repair design approved by a TCCA Delegate on products where Canada is the State of Design (for incorporation on US-registered aircraft) • Repair design approved by an FAA Designee on products where US is the State of Design (for incorporation on Canadian-registered aircraft)

  5. Current and Future : TCCA/FAA Repair Design Approval Current RDA-MOU Excludes: • Repair design approved by an FAA Designee on products where Canada is the State of Design (if intended for Canadian-registered aircraft) • Repair design approved by a TCCA Delegate on products where US is the State of Design (if intended for US-registered aircraft) • Major Repair design approved by the FAA Flight Standards under the field approval process (FAA 337) (if intended for Canadian-registered aircraft) • SFAR 36 repair on products where Canada is the State of Design (if intended for Canadian-registered aircraft)

  6. Current and Future : TCCA/FAA Repair Design Approval Expanding Reciprocal Acceptance • Joint TCCA/FAA team continued the evaluation of the phased implementation, and recently completed their study • Team satisfied with experience gained on current RDA-MOU and remain confident with next phase, involving; • Full recognition of approval granted by TCCA Delegate or FAA Designee on repair design (Status quo on SFAR 36 and field approvals) • Acceptance of repair design approvals on third country products (i.e products where neither Canada nor the US is the State of Design) • Conclusion of study to be presented shortly to TCCA and FAA Management for their endorsement

  7. Current and Future : TCCA/FAA Repair Design Approval Future Acceptance of Repair Data • If TCCA and FAA Managements endorse recommendations of the study for next phase, a new special arrangement will be initiated • Once the expanded coverage is introduced successfully, TCCA and FAA will be closer to a fully reciprocal acceptance of repair design approvals
